Wholeness in the Seed

I look beyond the golden leaves of fall
Above the fields of dormant soil
To the iron sky
I cry

And a Bluejay agrees.

Take these cares of mine as seeds to plant
There is a message here,
There is new growth
And wholeness in the seed.
To the iron sky
I place my trust

And a Bluejay agrees.

I have not fathered a child
But I am a dad.

A poem of trust and devotion to adoption -Kevin

Out to the Edge

Floating our hearts out to the edge of our fingertips
We pull emotion from the sky.
An orange sunrise heats up the frost and steam rises
With so much within us that has to try
To cope with all the unshed tears.

To be witness to a darkened skyline of the past
I have taken you into my heart
And all of this cannot last.
Angels weep, as they are powerless to do more than guide
They see the tears of the world rise into the sun
As darkness disappears into so much light
You are safe here and Peace will come.

You are loved.

Kevin  Feb 5, 1998

I wrote this poem with displaced children in mind. Far too many kids have been subject to abusive or neglectful beharvior by their biological parents and as a result have been placed in childrens homes or foster care. There are many children waiting for an adoptive family to love them unconditionally while helping them pick up the pieces to eventually mature into secure, well adjusted adults. -Kevin

 

On a rainy Tuesday, my mind fills with all that is out there...the wide open crevices of my dreams. They call me to come to them...to cradle them in the energy of desire.  Creative endeavors prance in my mind's eye like ice crystals on an early morning window welcoming a sunrise.  And in the center of all that is possible...is my love for you.
